The lot contains 5 carved soapstone items. There is a landscape sculpture, a double vase with flowers, a censer with a foo dog top, a male ancestor, and a seal with a foo dog top. The censer appears to release the incense smoke through the foo dog's back and mouth. The smallest item measures 6 3/4" x 3 1/4" x 1 3/4", and the largest item measures 3 3/4" x 10 1/2" x 2 1/4". The male figure piece can be lifted off of its base. The double vase and the seal have some chips, and the censer is chipped on the edge of the base. The items also have some scratches and stains. Otherwise, the lot is in overall good condition. In-house shipping is available. Please see our website regarding in-house shipping procedures.
